Commemorative plaque devoted to members of the Czech resistance executed during the Prague Uprising in May 1945 in Staré Město (Old Town) in Prague, Czech Republic. The members of the illegal group Věrný pes (Faithful Dog) were executed by the Nazis on 5 May 1945 on the nearby Svatopluk Čech Bridge (Čechův most) and their bodies were thrown into the river. The plaque designed by Czech sculptor Jan Znoj (1946) was installed on the building of the Faculty of Law of the Charles University.
